Question

On a disney cruise ship, there are two options for an internet connection. The first option is a fee of $5 plus an additional $0.25 per minute. The second option costs $50 for an unlimited number of minutes. Write an inequality that can be used to determine for how many minutes, m, the first option is cheaper than the second one.

Answer 1

5 + 0.25m < 50
0.25m < 50 - 5
0.25m < 45
m < 45 / 0.25
m < 180..........so when the minutes are 179 or less, then the first option is cheaper
